nChapter 31 – I Am Just Slightly Interested

nChen Yu: “Nuclear battery? Are you serious?”

nTransdimensional Marketing: “Mr. Chen, is there a problem?”

nChen Yu: “Do you think I have a nuclear battery lying around? Where am I even going to find one?”

nTransdimensional Marketing: “This is not within the sphere of our responsibilities.”

nChen Yu: “…”

nTransdimensional Marketing: “You can wait until the year 2105 when portable nuclear batteries come into existence. At that time, you can replace the batteries for your glasses.”

nChen Yu: “Are we even speaking the same language?”

nTransdimensional Marketing: “Mr. Chen, do you still need help with anything?”

nChen Yu: “Yes!”

nTransdimensional Marketing: “Please ask.”

nChen Yu: “How long can this prepackaged nuclear battery last?”

nTransdimensional Marketing: “The Quantum Reading Glasses’ power consumption is extremely large. A standard KG1 Nuclear Battery can power the glasses for around 450 hours.”

nChen Yu: “How many days is that?”

nTransdimensional Marketing: “Mr. Chen, why don’t you calculate it yourself?”

nChen Yu: “I’m too lazy to do that. Just tell me.”

nTransdimensional Marketing: “…Roughly 18 days.”

nChen Yu: “That short?”

nTransdimensional Marketing: “There is a limit to the amount of work the brain can undertake. Normally, the longest possible session for using the quantum glasses is three hours a day. Even if you use the glasses every day, they will last you for more than half a year. Once you exhaust the battery, you can also choose to let us reclaim the glasses.”

nChen Yu: “I see. Also, will the power consumption increase together with the reading standard?”

nTransdimensional Marketing: “That is correct, Mr. Chen.”

nChen Yu: “I understand.”

nEnding the conversation there, Chen Yu tossed his phone onto the bed and stood up. He then started setting up his studio. He moved his bed, stacked his table on top of it, and covered up his walls with bedsheets.

nAfter working for about a dozen minutes, his studio was ready for filming.

n“Brother!” At this time, a shout from Chen Yike suddenly came from outside Chen Yu’s room. “What are you doing there again?!”

n“Why must you add ‘again’?” Chen Yu shouted back.

n“You made a ruckus last Sunday too. Just what are you doing in there?”

n“It’s none of your business. Don’t disturb me.”

nPerking up his ears, Chen Yu made sure that Chen Yike had left before he took out his portable camera and set it on video shooting mode. He then put on the set of clothes he wore in the previous video and donned the opera mask to hide his face.

nAfter making sure all the preparations were done, Chen Yu moved the white box that previously housed the Quantum Reading Glasses onto his makeshift table and started his review.

n“Greetings, my fellow friends and viewers…”

nAfter speaking up to this point, Chen Yu suddenly fell into a daze as he realized that he had yet to write the script. He hurriedly picked up a pen and paper and started drafting something.

nA dozen minutes or so later, he completed his script and briefly read through it a few times. He then slapped his script onto the makeshift table and started speaking. “Greetings, my fellow friends and viewers. This is the second episode of Transdimensional Review. Firstly, I would like to thank everyone for all the support you’ve shown for the first episode. The product I bring everyone today is the Quantum Reading Glasses manufactured by the Great Light Company in the year 2144…

n“…Now that the introduction is done, let’s start the unboxing. Let me clarify this first: in order to evaluate the functionality of this product, I’ve previously unboxed it already. So, I’ll only be doing a simplified version of the unboxing now…

n“…Wow! Kekekeke! Awesome! This is a moment that belongs solely to me!”

n“…I’m sure everyone can see the books I’ve prepared here. I will now use these dice here to determine a page and use just one second to memorize the contents of the selected page. I will then recite the contents without looking or missing a word…”

nAn hour later, Chen Yu removed the Quantum Reading Glasses and massaged his temples in exhaustion before standing up to stop the camera.

nAs he had previous experience in doing a review, the recording session this time was much shorter. Even so, the Quantum Reading Glasses still placed too big of a strain on his mind. Hence, despite the shorter recording session, he ended up much more exhausted than he had during the last recording session.

n“Crap, my head…”

nAfter dragging his real table off his bed, Chen Yu sprawled on the bed and continuously massaged his aching head. Only after resting for nearly half an hour did he start to feel better. Now that he could think straight again, he stood up from his bed and burned his script. He then tidied his room.

nOnce he was done, he powered up his laptop and transferred his camera’s data to the laptop. With Smart Editing’s help, he quickly edited his video.

n“This is truly convenient! With this, I think I can consider earning some money by helping others edit videos.”

nAfter manually altering the frequency of his voice in the video and ensuring that there were no defects, Chen Yu uploaded the video to Bilibili and set it to air tomorrow at 9 A.M.

nDue to the characteristics of the Quantum Reading Glasses, the review video this time was far less shocking when compared to the review video of the Uranium-235 Nuclear Energy Laboratory. Even so, it more than qualified as a review video.

nFollowing which, Chen Yu exited Bilibili’s platform and tapped into the Marketing Terminal’s Profile tab.

n…

nUpon seeing the contents of the second mission, Chen Yu was stunned. Hurriedly, he contacted the Transdimensional Marketing Company’s saleswoman.

nChen Yu: “I’ve met the targets of the second mission already!”

nTransdimensional Marketing: “That’s correct, Mr. Chen. I’ve said this before: the larger your fanbase is, the easier it will be for you to survive the probation period.”

nChen Yu: “This is no longer a problem of difficulty. I’ve already met the requirements to pass the probation period.”

nTransdimensional Marketing: “Indeed, but you still have to try your best to complete all four missions. That way, your advertisement potential will be raised to the highest possible rank, and you will receive all sorts of benefits. My company will even prepare a special gift for you if you succeed in completing all four missions.”

nChen Yu: “What kind of special gift?”

nTransdimensional Marketing: “There are three options for the special gift, and you can choose one of them. The first option is a Multifunctional Mineral Detection Vehicle. The second option is a Full Coverage VR World Login Device. The third option is a Romantic Partner Simulation Robot that comes with an AI capable of connecting with the internet.”

nChen Yu: “Romantic Partner? Is that the robot listed on the first product catalog you sent me? The one made by Daisy Rays Daily Products Co., Ltd?”

n

nTransdimensional Marketing: “That’s right. It seems you are quite aware of this product. Do you have a need for it? If so, we can apply for it for you ahead of time.”

nChen Yu: “What do you mean by ‘have a need’? I am currently a high school student that is focused on studying. Why would I possibly need this nonsense? I am just slightly interested.”

nTransdimensional Marketing: “Oh, apologies.”

nChen Yu: “However, since you’ve already said so, not choosing it would seem like I’m pretending to be upright. So, I’ll choose this robot. Make sure to seal it properly when delivering it.”

nTransdimensional Marketing: “…”
